Tundra Swans

For my World Bird Wednesday and Watery Wednesday post I have some Tundra Swans we saw while visiting Middle Creek WMA. Not only does the Middle Creek wildlife area attract huge counts of Snow Geese you can also see hundreds on Tundra Swans.

My field guide says they winter on lakes and estuarites in the lower 48 states. Feeding in open waters, marshes and croplands.

Thanks to Springman of World Bird Wednesday and thanks to 2sweetnsaxy for hosting Watery Wednesday . Also thank you for visiting me and I appreciate the comments from everyone. Have a great Wednesday.

I really wanted to make it there to Middle Creek this year,but failed.I saw the birds on TV & they had said that that was probably the last weekend till they moved on.You got great photos,thanks for sharing!phyllis
